Impact of fiber-based super-bridging agents on contaminant removal via settling and screening: microplastics, textile fibers, and turbidity

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers added fiber-based super-bridging agents to standard water treatment coagulation and flocculation processes and found they created flocs 10 to 100 times larger than normal, dramatically improving settling. The agents also cut chemical demand by 50% and improved removal of microplastics, textile fibers, and turbidity from water. This approach could make water treatment more efficient and cost-effective while specifically targeting microplastic removal.

Removal of Classical and Emerging Contaminants in Water Treatment Using Super-Bridging Fiber-Based Materials

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers designed iron-grafted cellulose fibers and tested them for removing both classical contaminants and emerging pollutants including microplastics from wastewater, demonstrating high removal efficiency across a broad range of contaminant types in a single treatment step.

Super-bridging fibrous materials for water treatment

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers engineered fiber-based materials that dramatically increase the size of clumped particles (called flocs) during water treatment, reducing the need for chemical additives by up to 60% while also effectively removing emerging contaminants like microplastics and nanoplastics from drinking water.

Super-bridging Fibrous Materials for Water Treatment: Impacts on Removal of Plastic Particles, Phosphorus and Natural Organic Matter

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers developed fiber-based materials that act as super-bridging agents in water treatment, creating much larger flocs than conventional coagulants alone and improving the removal of plastic particles, phosphorus, and natural organic matter. This entry appears to be a duplicate of paper 60960 from the same study.

Super-bridging Fibrous Materials for Water Treatment: Impacts on Removal of Plastic Particles, Phosphorus and Natural Organic Matter

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers developed fiber-based materials that act as super-bridging agents in water treatment, creating much larger flocs than conventional coagulants alone and improving the removal of plastic particles, phosphorus, and natural organic matter. The materials reduced coagulant and flocculant usage by up to 40-60%, lowering both costs and chemical footprint.
